  • General Information Relating to Deferred Mortgage Payment Programs
    General Information relating to Deferred Mortgage Payment Programs 1. Deferred mortgage payments are discretionary. Lenders maintain the legal right to timely repayment of their mortgages and mortgage payment deferral programs are offered at their sole discretion and each lender has different policies on how they handle these requests. Note: These programs are generally restricted to ‘Institutional” lenders only. Private mortgages do not qualify. 2. No lender is going to forgive your mortgage payment. A deferred payment program allows you to roll a defined number of mortgage payments into your mortgage, however you are still expected to ultimately pay all of the money you owe, with interest. 3. True financial hardship must be demonstrated. These programs are for customers who are genuinely struggling to make their next mortgage payment. They may have lost their job(s) and/or a portion of their income, and they do not have the cash reserves necessary to draw on. If you are not in this group, you are not likely to be eligible. However, if you do make the decision to request a payment deferral, please be prepared to submit a detailed breakdown of your personal assets, current income and expenses. 4. If you do not currently fall into this distressed category, please do not call your lender at this time. Lender phone lines are overloaded right now with many of the calls being from customers who are worried but are not in a situation as per # 3 above. If you are still receiving your normal income and have enough money to make your next mortgage payment, please delay a call to your lender until you are in that situation.

While the future can seem a bit uncertain at the moment, it’s important to remain calm and try to stay positive during this unprecedented time. Because in spite of concerning headlines about the state of the mortgage and real estate industry during this pandemic, real estate and mortgage transactions are still moving forward, just in a slightly different way. With that being said, there’s still a lot of confusion and questions being thrown around about everything from deferred payments to refinancing options. To help put your mind at ease, we’ll answer all these questions, and more so you can feel confident navigating the current climate and going forward with your next move. 2 I’ve lost my job due to COVID-19 and need to defer my mortgage payments. How does this work? As many Ontario businesses have been forced to shut their doors due to this virus, many Canadians have, unfortunately, found themselves without jobs. The good news is that all of Canada’s big banks and most financial institutions have stepped in to offer mortgage payment deferrals for up to six months.

  • Early Brantford Banks
    Early Brantford Banks Bank of Brantford The Bank of Brantford was set up by an Act of Parliament of the Province of Canada in 1857. Peter Carroll was the president and J. J. Kingsmill was the vice-president of this bank which was located in the Kerby House block on George Street opposite the old Market Square. The first and only issue of bank notes took place in November 1859. The bills, including a $4 bill, were printed on only one side by the American Bank Note Company of New York. Shareholders and depositors lost their money and merchants were left with worthless bills when the Bank of Brantford closed in 1862. Bank of British North America The Bank of British North America opened the first bank branch in Brantford in 1846. It was initially located on the north side of Colborne Street with James Christie as the manager. After the building burnt down it was rebuilt at the same location. In 1858 the bank moved to the southwest corner of Darling and George streets next to Zion Church. When the Bank of British North America merged with the Bank of Montreal in 1919 the building was torn down to make room for a new Zion Sunday School. For more information: .
